BAW WHINE FLU WE'RE GOING TO DIE!
Eejits. Normal flu kills more people a week then the total dead from swine flu. And that's WITH drugs/vaccines to prevent it.
Sure there may be a risk of a pandemic, but I doubt it will get to the levels of ordinary influenza. At the moment it's mostly media hype to scare the bored population and to divert their attention from the recession.
The potential pandemic, threatened in essence by the CDC has been averted, according to their own latest reports, although NOT by their hands!!
This flu is a punk compared to bird flu, asian flu, etc.
It has evolved, quite rapidly, even my microbial standards, into a semi-harmless viral infection, not atypical of most other influenza related infections.
A few died, but no one would have known, except that this one had been isolated in a lab somewhere as unique and "identifiable."
The reality is as you have already stated. Flu kills. This is not a bad flu, compared to other pandemics. It is the ones that have not been isolated as unique that we have more to worry about. The regular, whatever, un-named, highly contagious, every-day flu is much worse.
Thank you!!
